Bialik shared the news on her parenting blog Wednesday, telling fans that she and Stone agreed to separate due to irreconcilable differences "after much consideration and soul-searching."

The 36-year-old "Big Bang Theory" actress and Stone have two sons together, ages 7 and 4, and Bialik assures readers that she and Stone don't take their decision lightly.

"Divorce is terribly sad, painful and incomprehensible for children," Bialik posted on her blog. "The main priority for us now is to make the transition to two loving homes as smooth and painless as possible. Our sons deserve parents committed to their growth and health and that’s what we are focusing on."

Bialik's known for her passion about "attachment parenting," an approach that she embraces with her own family and has written about in a book called "Beyond the Sling." In her blog post Wednesday, she clarified that their "hands-on style of parenting" wasn't a factor in their split.

"Relationships are complicated no matter what style of parenting you choose," Bialik said. "We will be ok."

You realize therefore considerably in relation to this topic, made me personally consider it from so many numerous angles. Its like women and men are not fascinated until it is something to do with Girl gaga! Your individual stuffs outstanding. At all times take care of it up!

it attacks your self esteeem–as a result you do nothing for yourself, start to fade in the way you look as a woman,
shakes just thinking about it–your so trapped as a woman that you completely lose yourself as a female.
you become jealous of other women thinking they might be the one.

we like our system better...our husbands aren't cheating--excellent writing though

some guy

Ladies I had to come back because some fine wives and ladies did not get what i was trying to imply. So let me dumb it down for your so called Superior Female Intelligence.

1. Listen to your man.
2. You can earn 3 times more than he does and still be his his advisor.
3. A marriage is like any unit, company,organization or country. There can only be one leader. Have you heard of a country having two presidents, or a company with two CEO's.
4. Yes. You are more intelligent than him and "better" than him, you may also think you deserve to be the leader. But there must be some reason why he has been the head of his clan for over 40,000 years.
5. If you are un happy with him or his deed throw crockery at him, beat him with a broom and yell to make him see your point. Dont leave him, because that hurts him.
6. I know women want to make this world a living Utopia, but please your plan is not working. There is a reason why a drill sergeant (him) is harsh and a reason why a troubled soldier (kids) sees the wise chaplain(you). Mix their jobs up and divorce is on its way.
7. Our generation of men believed women should sit next to us in the car and that why we let you, because we cared. Dont try to take advantage of our feelings , by grabbing controls of the car (society, family structure, marriage etc.) from us and ramming it into a tree.

@we like our system- are you on acid? That's some far out world you live in. Got ya a nice house in the burbs, too? Do you live in Moronville? You have to be about 13, right? Have a nice trip there, buddy. Reality is just around the corner.

@some guy...you're obvisouly not in a longterm relationship (and I'm sure in your opinion this is a woman's fault) because you're coming across like a caveman and in the process giving us respectful men/husbands a bad name.

She's gorgeous and is enjoying a career revival. Time to upgrade the suburban husband.
Maybe a jet set bad boy? Perhaps she's still harboring an 80s crush on Charlie Sheen?
Or even (gawd it is too dirty to say in public) Lindsey Lohan?

The more 'equal' and female empowered the society, the more divorce and screwed up kids as a result. Whites in America were doing okay till as late as the seventies. Now, because the women feel 'empowered' and 'independent' they are rising in divorces and their population is dwindling and are receeding as a society.

Third world and developing countries have less divorce and happier lives. Why ? because men call the shots. Saudi Arabia is NOT the right model , but i dont see a 50% divorce rate in China or India or Brazil or Russia or Mongolia or Germany or Italy or greece either. Face it , women can be great ministers and men can be great kings. Change this model and welcome to the 50% divorce club and god save your kids !! A couple must always have a little italian behavior and romance. Men must be men and women must be women.

to catch a man..get the heck out of here....we want women independent, love men, have children what your sayin is we will divorce because we have careers...this is not the right direction for my daughter...

Tim , get this , im not even White. :) But you can look up the census for US Population Growth by Race, its public information not racist. And you can wikipedia divorce rates Americans top that list coming in at a striking 50%. 1 out of every two marriages will end up in a divorce. We dont need to be Saudi Arabia , but we dont need to become a nation of men led around the nose by women either. There is no problem in listening to women but Look what their ideology and leadership is doing to society with single moms, obesity and the overall wussification of America. Fact is men are needed more than ever to take control over this swerving car called marriage.

1. you must never have been to the "third world" where you say everyone is so happy
2. I think Italy might be offended by just about everything you say (you should actually READ their marriage vows, but the way, which spend a lot of ink talking about the equality of men and women in the marriage)
3. You must be dreaming (or just an ugly angry troll who got upset when his parents divorced and now lives just with mom in her basement)

Ok, so this article has been on the front page for 4 days.. but can I find one freaking story about box office numbers over the weekend? Can we find one article in the entertainment section that talks about current events? Who the hell is in charge of posting stories.. and do they even have a freakin clue?

Marriage is outdated. There is no valid reason to marry. It will not make your love stronger. It does not ensure you will be together forever. If you get married for economic reasons then it is really a business partnership because Money and Love have few mutual friends.

Nah, actually what happened is that people became weaker. Vows became less important. Living up to your word and sticking with things even when they're rough is passe. In a society where a man's word is no longer worth anything, I can certainly understand how you might think this though...

Thank you, Rob. It's nice to hear that some people haven't given up on the truth. You're EXACTLY right. A person's word no longer means a thing today. No one is EXPECTED to keep their word or live up to their commitments and responsibilities. people like martiniano are just copping out. But then, so are most people today.

I wouldnt have a problem with marriage as long as it doesnt keep me from being able to do "anything" I wanted. I can feel all the love needed for the spouse but I need to be able to touch another woman...period. She's free to do the same :P

Ask any attorney, 9 times out of 10, when "irreconcilable differences" are cited, what has REALLY happened is one of them cheated. He won't dispute anything. If he does, it may become public that he cheated on her.

I think you are saying that women need a man like fish need a bicycle. We've heard that before. Calling her husband of 9 years a sperm donor is a little angry on your part. Are you transferring your man-issues to Mayim? Maybe the fact that she fired the meat canon has ruined her girly parts and he doesn't want her anymore? See how the hatred grows?

never ever compare yourself to a mayim–mayim is class not trash and doesn't use her kids as a tool to hold onto
her husband...she's makes the bucks and can do it on her own and she's not a fat lazy pig.

Just how many of you knuckleheads have ever been married? I've been married for 35 years, and I can speak from experience. The rest of you? People today take marriage too lightly. Have a little bit of difficulty, and the divorce talk starts. Marriage takes work, compromise, trust, and always the truth. If you do not have a happy life, and you tried everything to make it work, then it is time to end it. No point in beating a dead mule. For a good marriage, though, you work at it everyday. Making your mate happy is your number one mission, and vice versa. There's an old saying, "if you have a happy wife, you will have a happy life". This works both ways. Just a little advice for all you knuckleheads out there when you finally do take the plunge.

yes, divorce is hard and so is working it out. So if they're both hard, why not try out the one where your kids don't get put thru the ringer? Even the the most amicable divorces wreak havoc on the kids. Living out of the shared backpack, leaving your favorite toy at mom's and having to go the week without it. Living by one set of rules in one house and switching gears to another set every change. Holidays are hell... My parents have been together 40 years, they fought, sometimes I thought they'd split, but they are still together and I wouldn't have it any other way. My relationship with my hubby isn't perfect either, but it sure beats the hell out of ruining my kid's childhood.

Nine years ago, Mayim was a homely, overweight, unknown actress who married one of the few guys who ever showed any interest in her. Now, she's a STAR. She's lost 40 pounds, has professionals do her makeup, is famous and has more friends and admirers than she knows what to do with. Goodbye to her poor slob of a husband.

I was raised by my family dog and cat. My parents worked to make ends meet so I was left alone a lot. They both didn't have to work as much as they did but we had a decent home and two cars. At present I'm on my own, finished college and post grad and doing well with work. When I get married I think I'll raise my children a bit different.

Yes. My mother treated my dad with respect, until he started acting crazy. Then she had him committed. When he was well enough to realize that leaving mom was impossible, they let him out of the looney bin. You mean like that?

Wow. What a bunch of self-righteous, judgmental people there are here.

Yes, there are a lot of divorces in the US (and elsewhere) and yes, many people marry with the wrong expectations and are then disappointed, but sheesh, you have no way of knowing what is going on with this couple, so why not back off and worry about your own relationships. Take this as a cautionary tale if you like – of what I am not sure, but I am sure you can think of something.

its not about judging others.. i only believe what I just said, marriage is not about love but commitment.. btw I believe in vows that keeps our marriage strong.. umm My grandparents (both) had been married over 50 years (one of them almost reach 65 years of marriage) I don't speak of this couple but general to everyone.. if you really want to marry her.. always think of everything before getting married.. most couples did rush to get married to realize what they have been done wrong.. but really, if you are getting marry.. be ready after get married.. every couple will have their struggle and of course wonderful times.. last comment before I go, when couples get married.. did they say I DO? they should know the words that they did do vows. it means marriage until death.. if you think divorce is nothing wrong.. then you let kids think its nothing wrong to get divorced.. but yes they will pay the price..

Divorcing is a fool! you see why, people get married without thinking about VOWS! til death do part us.. I'm a married man and yes I'm new but i will keep marriage until I die or my wife dies. its because of vows and you all should know BETTER to think BEFORE you get marry! every couples have their problems but they have to solve the problems unless if can't, GO to marriage counselors! I only believe in divorce for two things.. Adultery and abuse (any type) so think again BEFORE you want to get marry.. marrying is not about LOVE but commitment!

Marriage is not something you do because you have to, like a job. It is something you can't live without, the other person means that much to you. If they truely don't love each other anymore, then they will either spend more time doing things for each other to help each other be happy, and love to grow, or they will split up and love will fade and die. That is how people work, together, or not.

Having had parents who fought every single day, could not be in the same room with each other, slept on opposite sides of the house, and refused to divorce "because of the kids," the only thing I can say to you is that you are an idiot and you need to shut your trap.

i agreed.. Divorcing is a fool! you see why, people get married without thinking about VOWS! til death do part us.. I'm a married man and yes I'm new but i will keep marriage until I die or my wife dies. its because of vows and you all should know BETTER to think BEFORE you get marry! every couples have their problems but they have to solve the problems unless if can't, GO to marriage counselors! I only believe in divorce for two things.. Adultery and abuse (any type) so think again BEFORE you want to get marry.. marrying is not about LOVE but commitment!

Actually research has shown that children are more negatively impacted by stressful family relationships than by the act of parents divorcing. The quality of the relationship is the key to a child's well being.

if my husband believes in something involving his career...i offer advice but the decision is his...same with my career
if i believe in something in terms of my work....i will listen to him but if i truly believe in what i've decided to do he will
say go for it . i would never stop my husband from doing something he believes in.

marital problems begin and i don't every want him to blame me for not letting him take a chance on something.

'Attachment parenting' had nothing to do with their split? REALLY??? I find that VERY hard to believe. When couples constantly put their childrens' needs ahead of each other, it breeds bitterness & resentment. Why do you think the divorce rate has gotten to be so high over the past few decades? This doesn't mean neglect your kids - it DOES mean that couples need to carve out alone time - and private space - for THEMSELVES. Parents who co-sleep & baby wear past infancy & breast-feed till the kid can speak in complete sentences are not doing their relationship - OR their children - any favors.

Best comment ever! You can't forget to nurture your relationship on a regular basis when you have kids. Sure, the dynamics change but if you don't show your love toward the other parent it's only a matter of time before things fall apart.

So, basically it doesn't matter what this woman says about the marriage SHE was in for 9 years–you are some seer and you know what actually happened. Because you don't like a certain style of parenting, even though this woman says the parenting style has nothing to do with the divorce, YOU KNOW BETTER? Did I interpret this correctly?

Has anyone ever referred to you as arrogant? Just curious. If so, I'll bet you came away from that completely befuddled as to where they could have gotten such a characterization.

There is nothing wrong with "attachment parenting" in theory, however, in practice, as with many of the "pop" trends we see these days, from the Atkins Diet to unconventional styles of yoga, a large percentage of people who subscribe to it either apply it incorrectly, taylor it to their own beliefs and practices which renders it ineffective, or they interpret what they're learning in such a way that it actually ends up doing more harm than good.

have been together over 30 years and he said they love each other so much, the relationship works this way
unmarried so we left it alone....we do not cheat on each other...we have the freedom too but we never will because
we are so close. we've both had sucky marriages and finally this is what worked out for us.

the father is just as smart as the mother...mayim's husband is just as responsible as the mother is.
grow up. theses are smart people who do NOT want to be together anymore that does not
make them flakey people....

Your right, it does not make them flakey, but it does make them a bad partner in marriage, it makes them bad parents for failing their kids, and horrible role models for their kids. I feel for the kids who deserve more than this, they deserve a real full time family with two parents.

she is not what is out there....she is a serious mother with a serious career and no problem moving forward with another man–she is of no danger anyone. she is what young women should be paying attention too nowadays

why all the hate on this thread.. 2 people decided not to raise their children together, One put out a public message telling the entire internet....maybe she is dangerous to her children with an ego that is out of control.. any Psych docs out there

Another one taking the easy way out. No signs that he was beating her, gay or on drugs. Another chick with money who thinks she doesn't need a husband or a father for her kids. I feel for the kids, I really do. If not for TBBT I seriously doubt she would be getting a divorce.

(Helen Reddy and Ray Burton)
I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'Cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever gonna keep me down again

Oh yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to
I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman

You can bend but never break me
'Cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
'Cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul

Oh, yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to
I can face anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman

I am woman watch me grow
See me standing toe to toe
As I spread my lovin' arms across the land
But I'm still an embryo
With a long, long way to go
Until I make my brother understand

Oh, yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to
I can face anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman

i have not heard about these type of women in years........she's so powerful, young, smart as anyone woman could be
we lover her and wish her the best. this will be done soon and she will move on to another man.

mayim (above) is beautiful girl, i do not find her ugly at all, she is beyond smart, she is a comedian, she is a mom and was a wife. mayim is power not a drudge who's on the couch all day shooting fireworks with their mouth from a computer

always indicate picture above because obimbo will think its her we're talking about....

Mayim(picture above) is an example of wife, mother and one of the smartest women in america. she is a go getter,
attractive, juggled acting, school, ph.d, kids and husband.....this woman is a jewel and she will find another man
because she is the right package for any man.

we keep using the gaga as mayim(picture above) target .....mayim has class and did the best she could to be a perfect wife....gaga is a first class moron....don't compare gaga to mayim.....this is trash and class 2 complete opposites

Agree completely. Love when these super educated people who think they know EVERYTHING about good parenting, can't even hold their marriage together – Which is #1 to raising well adjusted children...
Sorry, just spent Thanksgiving with one of these parents, who was being very rude to her husband. They had been such a loving couple prior to their 6 month old's birth.

Agree. Objective studies - not 'I'm OK you're OK psychobabble - confirm that an intact marriage is fundamental to a child's sense of security and success in school and social/personal relationships. Too bad.

It IS news because she is a Neuroscientist IN REAL LIFE. She has also done extensive writing on behavioral science, partially on how traumatic experiences affect children. (It's what she writes on her parenting blog) With this divorce, she is now forced to let her children experience something she has already concluded is detrimental to their emotional development.

CNN has an entire "Entertainment" section, and this is listed under the "Entertainment" section. CNN also has other sections, like technology, sports, living, etc. See the tabs at the top of the page? All of these sections are available to the readers.

some men should have married older in life and the other point is tonie's wife is not a jealous beetch....i can get on his bike with him and go riding while she's getting the bbq ready they are a secure couple and he doesn't have a nut job wife not that he would put with a nut job anyway.....

Mayim is an annoying jealous person who complains all day...but she (picture above) does have a huge career and not in everyone's business.

Open marriages work better for literally millions and keep more couples together than would otherwise split up and divorce. They have we have consensual sx with others and usually even more with each other as a result. They enjoy a bond and commitment stronger than most other married couples because theirs is based on truth, honestly, and openness and trust. There is nothing illegal or immoral about it – they get all the benefits of unbreakable emotional and life commitment and all the benefits and fun of being single at the same time. Don't like it? Then don't do it, but those that can't do it are usually insecure in themselves and can't handle jealousy, possessiveness, and selfishness. More and more open couples are coming out – it is far, far bigger and more common than most think. Chances are you have a neighboring couple(s) in an open marriage. – so you can be horrified and offended now. Grow up.

"Oh honey, I've got to talk to you about something. it's like this.... ummm, see, this guy I've been doing has HIV. Don't worry, it's the kind that only makes orgasms better, really. Here, I'll show you...."

Sounds like a fantastic way to introduce STDs and babymama drama into your relationship. How in the heck can you possibly justify to your kid why they have a sibling their same age, but with a woman other than mommy? Even a child knows that's wrong.

If you and your spouse are childless and want to do some swinging, partner swapping, whatever, then that's your business. But once kids come into the picture, parents need to be COMMITTED. And if you can't/won't commit, then get a divorce and be single rather than just acting like it.

who i went to high school with lives in florida and finally married at 50...he comes from a very strict family - they though he was gay, he hated women, he's not mature, he's selfish...he said to me didnt care because it was not the right time and he was 44 when he said this...he wanted his boat, rode his bike all over the world.

he's the best guy friend ever! ..everytime i fly into florida...he's at the airport waiting for me, his wife is home cooking for me...he takes me out on his bike and we have great catch up time when i'm in florida...He and his wife came in for my parents 50th and i went to his wedding...50 years old first marriage...He said no regrets marrying later in life. we've been friends for 35 years and i am so happy he picked the right girl.

Actually men should marry more mature (in other words 'she's hot' isn't the basis for a long term relationship). Some men mature earlier than others. I was married at 20 and now 26 years later my wife and I are still married and she is my best friend.

and most of the men handle it(as best they can) –singles find all these fake marriage performances towards each other a waste of time. i bash my male friends(who have marital problems) all the time yet at the same time i agree the men might be smarter then their wives after all.

Something that I think is worth considering soberly and at length – Neuroscientists recently proved – *PROVED* – that human beings do not actually form fully-mature adult brains until they are around 30 – maybe even more like 40. She was only 27 when she married, and therefore still a child and too immature to make a permanent decision such as that. Why are we still allowing children to marry when we *know for a fact* that they're too young?
*Obviously* there's huge complications in that. I'm just saying – – sit down and think about it. And please consider it seriously.

There are plenty of people who are 45 and still irresponsible and self centered. A lot of 22 year olds are emotionally and mentally ready to commit to marriage. The problem with marrying in one's 30s is women's biologically peak to bear children is in their 20s. Marrying later doesn't guarantee a happy marriage. But statistically speaking there seems to be some truth to what you say: http://www.divorcepeers.com/stats38.htm

Unfortunately, girls are hitting puberty at 10, guys a little later, and the hormones rule the emotions while the brain/reasoning takes a back seat. With the average lifespan at mid-30s for most of human history, people simply couldn't afford to wait to get the next generation going. Now as most of live into our eighties, we're trying to catch up to this new longevity - unheard of except in rare cases before the 20th century.

Wow, some of you people are not just ignorant, but extremely judgmental. First of all, CNN isn't reporting this as a top front page story – this is the entertainment section, so if you all think she's front page news and got there because she called CNN to tell her story – you are mistaken. The press heard about it, and she commented on it. She is a human being just like anyone else. Yes, marriage is difficult, yes, many people have the strength to work through a marriage, but with some marriages people need to recognize when it does not work and throw in the towel. Obviously they tried or they wouldn't have been married for 9 years. People DO fall out of love, not everyone has the perfect idyllic marriage. It is sad for her children but to sit here and judge her because of the decision to divorce is just plain ignorant. Most of you have laid down some pretty brutal remarks ranging from her marriage, parenting skills to her looks. Maybe those of you who are judging should take a look at yourselves. Not only is Mayim an incredibly talented actress, she's human just like the rest of us. If any of you would take a moment to realize that, maybe you wouldn't be so ignorant. Just like any friend or famous person alike, divorce may be common, but it is still painful no matter who goes through it.

In my opinion, the place where that all falls apart is the fact – the *fact* – that they *swore* before God that they would stay together – and I quote – "until death do them part – for better or for worse." There is *no* wiggle-room there. In my honest opinion it's taken MUCH too lightly these days. All one has to do is mumble "irreconcilable differences" and the Judge buys it. It's TOTAL b.s. Marriage is supposed to be a permanent contract, period. It's MUCH too easy to get out of it and "difficulty" is not supposed to be an acceptable reason. Old fashioned? Maybe the world needs a *little* more of that. Let's face it, *everyone* knows that most of the world's problems are caused by family problems at home. We have to stop lying to ourselves by pretending that's not true. It's supposed to be a permanent deal; that's why you don't enter into it lightly or when too immature to make such an incredibly serious, permanent decision.

There is nothing wrong with temporary marriage of any number of years. "For life' isn't practical or necessary for a vast population. It is a wonderful fantasy these days, but intellectually dishonest.

@THR: Do you know they said any such words or included god in their ceremony at all? that is what YOU did perhaps, that is the traditional, Western vows used in many people's relationships and in movies, but not everyone involves god at all in their ceremony nor includes the "swear" to stay together until "Death do them part." Don't assume everyone has the same marriage vows or traditions.

Oh, my God! I don't believe it! Someone is divorcing someone else, oh no. Who is divorcing whom? Oh well, it does not matter because now, I can sleep much, much better. Thanks for the earth-shaking news.

I really could care less about her or any other star's personal problems. Just because I see them on TV once a week doesn't make me want to get involved or even gossip about what is happening in their lives. That said, I think she is great on Big Bang and her character is one to remember for a long time to come.

You may as well call me StupidDave…I am as bright as a lamp post. My IQ nearly hit single digits…I didn’t qualify for that game show, but they asked if I wanted to try out for “Are You Smarter than a 1st Grader?”. I was so dense that even the short bus kids made fun of me! I was sooo clueless that when my buddy asked me to polish the knob…I reached for Pledge and a rag….

That’s all we have for now folks. The 10 o’clock show will be completely different from the 8pm show! See ya.

blah, blah, blah ... no matter what kind of what kind of parenting they choose? really?! the type of parenting they chose is broken-home parenting. hope the kids like having two separate lives (mom's house and dad's house) due to their parent's inability to keep it together after choosing to have kids.

Like most couples, once the kids came, they realized that their thoughts on raising children were at odds. Anyone who does as much attachment parenting as she does prevents the level of intimacy and devotion to maintain a marriage. It is her life but she's beyond the six sigma deviation of normal with respect to attachment parenting. My guess is that you need to be a little loopy to act.

I have been married to the same woman for twenty years and we have a son in college (18). It's not always easy, but I feel there is a common ground for most problems, at least the type of problems that develop after you are married, not like difference of religion, that you should have known about before getting married. At 44 I feel many married couples exacerbate their problems and sometimes barely get through the tough part when children are young. It's supposed to be difficult, who said being a spouse and parent was easy? But what else should I expect from beings that create statements like "the five year itch", really, after five years they are boring you already. I do 250 push-ups a day for her, it's not for me, it's to keep her interested as we get older. It is a small thing I can do for her. Sometimes I think people misunderstand the definition of love, sure it means different things to different people but I love my wife, we are equals and I would die for her if need be. After a long day at work snuggling with her on the couch is awesome to me.

I have no idea what REALLY went on between these two people, none of us do. Did you ever notice how many "stars" get divorced after the money starts coming in. Just throwing it out there. What they say in a blog or interview is all PR BS.
Anyway, shame another marriage kicks the bucket.
Love the show though, best comedy since the early years of Two and a Half Men.

Shoulda stopped at 50 because 250 makes your story sound unbelievable. I've known special forces members who didn't do 250 push-ups a day. I'm sure you love your wife, but the hyperbole makes it sound sad, not genuine.

they live in a one bedroom with 2 futons for the whole family to sleep on. The 3 yr old nurses 6 times a night, maybe they went insane from sleep deprivation. she insisted they not use diapers, simply read the babies signs, even when he didn't want to. since she has a job, that's a lot of pressure on a stay at home dad. infants pee about every 15 minutes. The clincher for me was her reaction to her kids problems. The youngest one didn't roll over till he was 1 yr old and she is proud she didn't get him help. she bragged on her blog that she was letting him develop at his own pace. That's crazy. maybe he'll be able to make choices for his kids now. maybe he'll get them immunized.

Sorry to hear this. Divorces are always unpleasant and sad. I like her on the show, she's good. That "attachment parenting" thing is a little odd though, kinda OCD/paranoid sounding. Oh well, to each their own, none of my beeswax.

Until their kids grow up and become mass murders or President, then we can comment on their family decisions. Until then, I have enough to do with my future mass murders and Senators (in my mind, a better career move) to really follow their family activities..
Best of luck to all of them.

i have no interest in hearing scorned wives reminding their husbands every 5 minutes they are married...my friend is married 20 years and has never had to remind him of anything...i don't hang with scorned women its not good for
my image as a single women...i help people men and women but i will not hang with a whiney scorned wife i find it quite boring and of no use to me.

I just read all 129 posts. How many of you knuckleheads have actually been married? I'll bet not many. I sure am glad you are not marriage counselors, because this world would be screwed. Just saying...

if your dealing with a witch she will never let you move on with another woman because many women have a goal not to let the man grow or get ahead of them....nothing to do with love its manipulation towards the man.....not me i want my man to be strong all the time....

She says, "The main priority for us now is to make the transition to two loving homes as smooth and painless as possible." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Good luck pulling that off, babe. For someone as highly educated as she is (a PhD in neuroscience no less) she is clueless.

i am a female who can remain without sx also...i can remain 1 2 years to help get myself in the groove again. when your single you have to take breaks not go with every schmo you see...that's ridiculous....as soon as the man comes into play that i have fun with. i want him all the time even at my age.

again my cousins have the routine down to a science with the kids and her husband. my cousin also loves sx
even with kids....the women are very xual in my house....we like it...so we make sure we make time for the
man we love

if your xual by nature you can juggle...if one needs more then the other then there is a problem.

they don't pressure their husbands or are on their backs every 2 seconds for attention....my cousin has never reminded her husband they are married she said that just suffocating him...why would i do that. i agree.

I bet more divorces occur than mothers abandon their children. The bond between adults is more complicated and conditional, than the bond that a mother have for her child(ren). Also, I think the majority of parents who have child(ren) are not fit to be parents at all. The mother gives selflessly to her child(ren) without much consideration of any material returns. This might be the closest thing to what we might consider 'love'.

In general, two people have to spend time with each other, together doing things for each other to be happy, each day, or they will begin tending towards a divorce. Sorry, but that's just how people work... they aren't robots that sit there waiting for commands, or someone to remember they exist. Both men and women... same thing... same end result if you don't figure it out before it's too late.

Considering youLve been married to a guy for nearly a decade, wouldn't you put some work and effort into your marriage instead of just throwing it away? Marriages are too disposable anymore, like anything you have to work, compromise, aand take care with precious things. For being a smart woman, this doesn't seem like a very smart decision.

I'm wondering if half the bullyboy crap on here is coming from one or two people and 4chan is involved. You know 4chan – a community of no-life teen perverts and adult pedophiles whose main goals in life are to troll others and record underage "win" on video chat sites.

I did not read EVERY comment but I scanned quite a few. I am giggling at the fact she feels the need to justify that her "style of parenting" is not the cause of the divorce. I would think not, how many "normal folks" homes have that same style of parenting for lack of a choice? Not everyone can afford a nanny, or choose not to pay the daycare, nor can they afford the Friday night babysitter anymore. So why is her "style" so different? Because it is in Hollywood? I would bet that what many have said about her newer found success being the bigger issue. However if that is it...it is his problem not hers. If she is still living up to her part of the bargain on the parenting, then I can't see the down side. BUT..OH WAIT....maybe its just normal people actually not getting along?

Why are you screaming? And have you never before conceived of an article about an actress in the Entertainment section? Why are you crying out for attention? No friends? Your parents have given up on you already? Hard to blame them.

I love reading comments – but unfortunately, THIS is the majority. 12yo's trying to sound like clever adults. They don't like Mayim's looks. Her personality, her nose, her parenting style, her acting, her... Why, you'd almost think they just don't like females! Like true ball-less bullies, they blame her. I didn't see one negative comment about the husband!
I was sad to read the headline, and clicked on it out of curiosity. I didn't expect to find any real information, and it's none of my business. And why did it make me sad? It could have become a crappy marriage.
I never thought much of her acting, until Big Bang. Given the perfect role, she shines! I'm now a big fan.
And we all know better – money, fame, and a big brain do NOT make life any easier. I hope all you bullies are proud of yourselves – and your perfect looks and lives! Grow up!

Seriously... half you people on here are nothing but bullies behind a computer screen. Would you like people saying things like this about you? Just because she is an celebrity and in the public eye doesn't mean you have a right to attack her and her personal life. It's really disappointing to see all these comments, especially when bullying is such an epidemic. If any of you have children, please remember that children are a product of their environment and they think what you do is what they should do. Please think make sure to think before you speak around them, because if you are saying this type of stuff in front of them, you are breeding insensitivity and nastiness.

I always thought she was cute, maybe because of her nose. I guess I just have a thing for nerdy girls sometimes. And if people want to dwell on nasal equipment, on most people large ones look bad. On a few people though, it just looks right. She's one of a few and I'll still have the hots for her. I understand she's a really cool person in real life, too.

One might venture to guess that the majority of them would be similarly ridiculed the second they step from behind their screens. Though in their cases it is fully earned and rightly placed. Forget the haters. They are jealous this woman has made something out of her life they will never know. Success.

there are parents who can handle it like women in my family can careers, husbands, kids, look fabulous and are total dynamite women ... then there is those other women ...well you serious ladies know what i am talking about.

Ah, if she is an actress. even as an ugly one, the surprise here is that her marriage lasted as long as 9 years. In hollywood in particular and for financially successful people in general, husbands are nothing more than sperm donors and wifes are nothing more than trophies.

Well she happens to be a serious woman Has a PHD in neuroscience as well as a triple BA She also seems to be a serious actress it seems. As for your assumption as to the reason well People from all walks of life divorce and for reasons as varied as the individuals involved. The assumptions you have made seemed to be pretty shallow.

who are lazy and do nothing all day but sit in front a computer looking for their husband to find out if he's a cheater or not. we feel that is low and degrading for a female and have no respect for that type of woman. lol.

They are anxious to get a man and have the kids these days and then they want the kids and the husband out of the picture. Why don't they just adopt or go to a sperm bank and save the trouble? Hope she doesn't turn into a Halle Berry and try to keep the dad out of the kids life too with her fame and money.

Her personality is so self-riteous, judgemental, and annoying I can imagine it finally wore him down. There was no place for her husband in this marriage. I couldn't stand her as Blossom and she is even worse now on BBT. Not surprised at all.

Are you confusing her with her characters? How would you know what her personality is like? The lady's a successful scientist, an award-winning actress, an author, and by all accounts I've read, a devoted wife and mother.

Nut? And how do you get there from successful career woman who wants to keep a close parenting relationship with her kids? If she didn't make such an effort with her kids you'd label her a terrible, selfish parent. If she stayed home iwth the kids you'd label her both lazy and a failure. I'm sorry for her marital troubles but she is a terrific woman and I'm sorry so many people seem unable to handle her successes.

Wow, everyone is saying all kinds of reasons and nobody is saying anything related to her being on the show. When they got married she was a former child star. Now she is once again a star. I'm sure that changes the dynamics of the relationship alot. Not just the work hours and being away from home more. She's back in the limelight and he's not. Now instead of the guy who's married to some woman who used to be on tv he's Mr. Bialik. Has to be immasculating to a certain extent.

I'm sure that's not the emasculating aspect because in this economy having a job is a blessing especially for a no talent
it probably was parenting differences so now they can do what they want in their own house and blame the other when
their way fails textbook

Always sad to hear of a divorce whenever young children are involved. You always have to wonder what problems this couple could have had that were so insurmountable that they couldn't be resolved in order to keep the family together. I am a huge fan of Big Bang Theory and find her character's personality is a perfect match for Sheldon. Best of luck to everyone involved.

Obvious you have such limited intelligence that you lack reading comprehension. The article specifically states the ages of her two sons. ZEither were born this year or last year. So, no she didn't :just have them".

What? Are you kidding? You obviously know nothing about Dr. Bialek who has been by all accounts an incredibly devoted mother who focused intently on caring for her children. I have no idea why she is divorcing and neither do any of the commentators here outside their speculation. My hat's off to her efforts to remain an intouch parent, not hiring nannies or help but I can't help thinking her scientific work and acting work and the effort to be there for the kids must have been very tough. Of all people to go after with a silly feminazi charge... She's also a brilliant and talented lady and quite beautiful. As for her working...If you want a parent to care for the kids full time and give up their dreams, quit your job, buddy. Otherwise, share the load.

why did they marry anyway? So they can mock marriage? Looks like people in the US marry to get divorced. Someone posted "sorry about this divorce". What??? Good for them. Divorce happens because people are selfish. If both husband and wife work together to better their relationship, do you think divorce will happen? Like I said, divorce happens because of selfishnesh, which is a virtue nowadays.

wow !?! what a response ..Edwin you are right I do care what is the yahoo news coming to that this is worthy of account
Joe Joe Joe so limited with the Freud analogy
Matthew Black .. who"s got a crush on blossom much ?????
Phydeaux thank you I appreciate that I do try
mylife55 take a hint from Edwin my dear you do

Tiresome, troll. Dr. Bialek is a successful scientist and a beloved and award-winning actress. Why if you claim simply to be irritated by Yahoo making this news do you find it necessary to throw such ridiculous insults at the lady? Somehow I think if we laid your accomplishments next to hers, she'd outpace internet troll and whatever else you do.

Sorry...What were you saying? I was too busy using a high powered electron microscope in search of your last brain cell . Thus far it has been a futile and fruitless search in a vast dustbin devoid of all but cobwebs. Oh wait, I see signs of life! Never mind...it's just a tumbleweed. Carry on!

I don't have a crush on Mayim Bialek as a matter of FACT 'really?/??' – she's not really my type. But even if I did – SO??!! Do you think that would score some sort of point or comeback against me? Sheesh – Trolling D1ckhead...

@paul What a catch you must be! I bet women across the world are all saddened by the fact they will never be good enough for you and your shallowness. The irony is that you're probably a dead ringer for John Merrick.

You jelly bro??? So she's successful at having a show that a lot of people love. A woman in a position of power due to her success in the media, is that threatening to you?? Unfortunately, something bad has happened in her personal life. That's no reason to rip her one like that. Also, how does her big nose factor into her parenting skills?? Enlighten me.
